Hi Nizzy,

You could try to add the onError event handler to the Tag object. More info can be found here: http://api.jquery.com/error/
If that isn’t enough, you can also look to place try/catch statements where appropriate (haven’t really looked into that yet, so I don’t have a recommendation where to put those)

Tom, thanks for sharing your work.

I was wondering how you could implement a debug pattern that allows me to catch any errors from plugins within Tag obj.

Best

Comment on How to let DomPDF and Zend Framework play along by nomad

I've been trying your approach that you have suggested to Peter but i can't seems to get it working. function viewAction() { layout = new Zend_Layout(); $layout->setLayoutPath(APPLICATION_PATH . "/views/scripts/invoice"); $this->view->foo = "test data"; $this->render(); /* i can render my view.phtml */ $layout->content = $output; $layout->setLayout('pdf'); echo "

";
print_r($layout);
$html = $layout->render();

}
When i render the layout it show following error:
Message: Requested HTML document contains no data. 

following is my pdf.phtml code

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->set_paper("a4","portrait");
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->set_base_path($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("document.pdf");

Comment on Security with Zend_AMF and Flex – Part 2: Practise by Titi

Hi Tom
I know that this blog entry is a little bit old but it’s very helpful to me. Do you know if your colleague would agree to show me his flex code ? Because it’s the hardest part for me in the authentication process with zend_amf…

Thanks a lot

@Tom Here is the html that is added to the file before the pdf header. ---------- Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/vmnc/library/dompdf/lib/fonts/php_Times-Roman.afm) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vmnc/library/dompdf/lib/class.pdf.php on line 2354 ------------- Im not sure what that means but is enough to corrupt the file so it wont be rendered by some pdf viewers. Thanks I appreciate your help.

Comment on Unit testing your Javascript: Just Do It by Tom

Very interesting approach. I’ll have to read the post again, because after a first quick read, I didn’t fully understand how the concept works.

Thanks!

I just started using Qunit. I was searching for an article I read the other day and came across yours. The set timeout thing is cool, but not when you have a lot of tests and the time outs add up.

Check out this post for a better way to test asynchronous code
